Apr. 7th, 2011

Now it's just habit to keep a list of new recipes tried each year. The goal is to hit at least 50 each year. So I try a new recipe about once a week and some meals will involve 2 new recipes that I saw and wanted to try out. Let me know if you're also keeping a running list of recipes you make so I can keep looking for ideas to try out here too.

So far, I'm most excited about "Spaghetti with Chicken and Thai Peanut Sauce" which led to the "Pork and Cabbage With Peanut Sauce Noodles" dish that I made up. The "Succlent Braised Pork" recipe was true to its name and I'm definitely making that one again. I'm also loving "Roasted Sweet Potato Fries with Plum Powder" after hearing my sister describe a street food snack. And I like to keep "Crispy Cheese Wafers" or "Garlic and Rosemary Roasted Cannellini Beans" around to munch on throughout the day. Some great eating so far in 2011! I'll eventually make individual posts for these recipes too but I just wanted to get my list together so I could find my recipes again.

Cookbook of All Recipes I've Posted:

or just look at the tag recipelist

I found this recipe in a book I picked up at a cookbook exchange that I went to with a friend. Cool idea. For a $5 donation/fee, you got to drop off any old cookbooks you didn't want anymore and walk out with as many of the books and magazines that you wanted. The leftover books were donated to a non-profit used bookstore More Than Words in Waltham, MA, that's run by teenagers.

This recipe was a hit. We had it two days in a row and have cooked it several more times since then. Definitely want those chopped peanuts on top at the end...a really nice crunch. I even happened to have a bottle of riesling that I opened since the book recommended riesling and it did indeed pair very nicely with this dish. Oh and we substituted in Linguine since I had no spaghetti in the house.

Want to make this vegetarian? Leave out the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. I imagine you could marinate tofu instead of chicken and that could work. Or just leave out the chicken and it would still be a very satisfying dish.
